315. New Year's Eve
Next, at the request of Quran, we all had a lively New Year's Eve together.
This was also the first time that the Jin Butler had eaten with his master. Although he had different tables, he felt his master's kindness.
Their food is not as delicate as the master, but it is not bad. The master has never treated the food badly since they came, and the meat never stopped. Even their former masters could not stick to meat every day.
The large table on the other set is also full of weight.
There are many people and the bustle is lively. An An and Xiao Kangkang ate more than usual.
The same is true at night. Not only are the food also abundant, but there are also more flat foods that Gulan specifically requires. Everyone has as long as they are part of the Gu family.
Then, except for a few younger children, everyone stayed up until the moment the New Year came.
At this moment, even though the snow is still flying outside, it still cannot extinguish everyone's happiness and expectation for the arrival of the New Year. The entire Lijia Village was surrounded by the sound of warm firecrackers at this moment. It has been ringing for a long time, and the ancient house is also the loudest.
Long time.
...
The next day, the new year was in a new atmosphere. The mother and son got up early, and An An was put on new clothes for the New Year by her mother.
"Son, Happy New Year." Looking at his newly-dressed son, Quran was blessing with seriousness.
"Happy New Year, Mom," An An said happily.
"Well, we are all happy, son, mother finds that there seems to be something under your pillow?" Gulan looked at his son's pillow with curious look.
"Is there something?" The little guy's interest was instantly lifted up. Before he got out of bed, he quickly lifted the pillow and then grinned.
It was New Year's money... An An looked at her mother in surprise.
He knew about New Year's money. In his limited memory, only his elder brothers and sisters at home had it, but he didn't know why he, as the youngest in the family, had never received it.
The little guy holding the red seal couldn't wait to open it, looking at the little ingot in his hand, and immediately held the ingot in surprise and shouted "Mother".
"Good" Looking at the little guy's smiling face, Gulan was glad that he remembered the New Year's money yesterday and looked at his son happily.
"Yeah," An An lit her little head wildly, and buried her head in her mother's arms in joy, "Thank you, mom."
At this moment, all the bad memories in An An's mind slowly disappeared, leaving only full of love.
"Son, don't thank you." At this moment, the mother and son smiled at each other.
Next, An An carefully put the small ingot in his hand into his small vault, a small purse that never leaves his body when he sleeps.
Although my mother later gave him a small box for silver, the purse sewn by her mother was still his favorite, but most of the copper silver in the purse was placed in the small box.
Then with the sound of firecrackers, I had my mother, Xiao Kang Kang and everyone in my family’s first meal in the New Year… flat food.
In the next time, I would like to meet everyone and say that the New Year's money was good. I received a bag of copper coins in one day and was excited all day.
Of course, Gulan, who is a mother, also gave New Year's money. The children from the village came to the house in pairs, and did not unify each child for ten cents, indicating that they were perfect in the New Year.
On this day, Gulan was quite happy like her son. Although she sent out a lot of copper coins, she also received a lot of blessings.
Throughout the day, the atmosphere in Lijia Village was very lively. Even if it snowed, it could not stop everyone from going out to greet New Year's greetings.
The first day of the New Year passed by everyone's enthusiasm.
On the second day of the lunar month, Gulan took his two sons to Uncle Li's house.
She has no relatives here, but she has a good relationship with the Li family along the way, and they are also relatives to the outside world. No surprise, Gulan will continue to take Uncle Li’s family as a relative.
As for the mother's family deep in my mind, the original owner's memory seems to have no warmth and no nostalgia in his younger brother. Otherwise, he would not have returned to his mother's family after getting married. Of course, there are also many mother-in-law's.
oppression.
The original owners were like this, and Gulan was even less nostalgic.
In fact, it is difficult to escape from famine at the beginning, but now I think about it, it is actually quite good. Without a top relative, it will at least make it easier for her, a person who is not good at home fighting and can't speak.
On the third year of junior high school, Rigulan took his sons to the village chief and his clan's hometown.
Just as we were walking around each other, time soon came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
During this period, An An and his friends also had a complete crazy game. They didn’t have to study and didn’t stay at home from morning to night, except for meal time.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after having a reunion dinner, the year has been completely over.
For Gulan, being with his sons is reunion.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, tofu and sprouts also began to resume work, and days began to return to normal.
Then soon the beginning of spring came, and April was the time. The thick snow on the surface had already melted and the temperature quickly rose to above zero.
The heavy clothes were also taken off layer by layer. Although they had not changed into spring clothes, they were much lighter.
Then, many things were also raised by Quran.
The first is sweet potato pepper. At the end of March, the seeds of the peppers have been raised, and it is expected to be opened in May without any surprises.
During this period, the several acres of land behind the courtyard had been cleaned up by Xia Mu and others many times, and all things such as stones that were not conducive to plant growth were removed from the ground.
Not only that, in order to make the soil more fertile, Gulan also specially purchased relatively fertile soil fertilizer from other places to cover the backyard, completely improving the soil quality of the backyard.
Apart from growing vegetables, all the remaining ones are prepared to plant sweet potatoes.
At the same time, most of the village's labor force was hired to open up land.
It was also at this time that everyone realized that all the places from Lijia Village to the foot of the mountain belonged to Master Gu.
With the joint efforts of everyone, nearly 50 acres of wasteland were opened. After repeated reclamation and thorough renovation of the soil layer of the wasteland, the top dressing will be used to grow chili here.
There was also a sweet potato, but in the end, Gulan didn't give it to the villagers.
There were a few bags in her space, and she dug them from the mountain, but the number was still limited, which was only enough for her to grow.
In addition, this is a new type of food, and no results have been seen, and most people do not have the courage to follow the trend to plant.
And there is nothing more convincing than waiting for the harvest to be seen and tasted with your own eyes. By then, she would have more sweet potato seeds in her hands.
This is the case with Gulan, and the same is true with Xiang Yunjin.
If we follow the original agreement, the batch of sweet potatoes in Xiang Yunjin's hand would be asked to help grow them in Lijia Village.
But later the situation changed. All the land belonging to him was sold to Gulan around Lijia Village. The other land was too far from Lijia Village. It was no longer suitable for them to plant it. Just running back and forth every day would be wasted
Not short time.
Moreover, there is really no extra manpower in Lijia Village now.
It can be said that even children have no time to open their own land in addition to sprout business.
The land is fundamental to farmers at any time. Even if the grain output on the wasteland is initially poor, it cannot dispel farmers' enthusiasm for land.
Under such a busy situation, each family also distributed one or two people to help Gulan open up the land. After all, the wages paid by this guy are indeed quite gratifying.
